There is a lot of misinformation and confusion about the Warranty since a number of places that tell you about it have false information. Mercedes-Benz has two separate divisions and sales networks, selling two different lines of products. That is Mercedes-Benz Passenger Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. They use the same design themes and advertising style, which gets confusing, and on top of that a to of Mercedes-Benz Passenger Car dealerships also have Mercedes-Benz Van franchises.
Here's the deal. Mercedes-Benz Passenger Cars come with a 4-year, 50,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty, and lifetime roadside assistance assuming you service your car at a Mercedes-Benz dealership.
Mercedes-Benz Vans offers a 3 year, 36,000 bumper to bumper warranty, and a 5 year, 100,000 mile diesel engine warranty. The Metris does not have a diesel engine, so its warranty is 3 years and 36,000 miles bumper to bumper. Period.. You get roadside assistance for that period, which ends thereafter.
There is a 3 year rust-through corrosion warranty with no mileage limit, and a 5 year, 100,000 mile visible painted surface rust through warranty. That does not, by the way, include visible non-perforating rust spots. Keep your car clean and waxed.
A lot of places have been quoting "36 months, 60,000 miles", because, I think, some nimrod looked at a Canadian warranty (36 months, 60,000 KILOMETERS) and made a mistake.
